Hi Everyone, Its been a very busy few months here. With the puppies and the new arrivals,we do not get many spare minutes in the day. Poor Gyp had two further seizures this week. He has had them spasmodically before,but now they were becoming too regular,so the vet has put him on medication. We are…

I have researched this problem and evidently it’s quite common for dogs with amputations. It’s a very very difficult place to heal and a very very difficult place to bandage. We…
